about the shooting. hi, own condition. and

the shooting that she would recover His

1t appears that the statement IF the facts

partially Incorrect 1t Is true that Howard
sent his wife out Of the house twice to tell

The voters of Chicago pronounced on
Monday last by decisive majority against
two candidates for circuit judgeships who
had been named by the Democratic central
committee and indorsed 10y the United La
bor party, with which the anarchistic ele-
ment of Chicago's population has been iden-
tilted. 1t had been charged that the Dem
ocratic leaders had offered nominations for
sale, and general belief in the truth OF
this charge led to the formation of citi-
zens organization, by which two reputable
Democrats were put in nomination against
the candidates Of anarchy and corruption.
The Citizens ticket, headed by States At
torney Grinnell. whose vigorous prosecu-
ton of the seven condemned anarchists has
given him a leading position as a represen-
tative Of order and law, was victorious in
the election by nearly 10000 majority. OF
the six circuit Judges elected three are Re
pubhcans and three are Democrats.

Tho Morning Republic.

The REPUBLIC is receiving compliments
and congratulations from all sources today
on the very excellent edition published this
morning. Our news covered the entire
field covered by the larger city papers, and
or returns from the city were complete
. I'd almost so from the entire county. As
to results and majorities the public could
get just as intelligent an idea of the situa-
ton from REPUBLIC as from any morning
paper published in the state. the only dif-
ference being that our reports we're less
elaborate.
The REPUBLIC was on the streets one
hour in advance Of any other paper, and
the sales surpassed anything ever expert
enced by any newspaper in this city. This
is ample evidence of the high regard in
which "the republican organ of Clark
county" is held by cur citizens generally.
We thank the public for this very genei-
Gus appreciation of our efforts. and assure
them that the REPUBLIC will always be
found in the front rank.

Later returns from the county come in

is nothing to indicate a material change in
the REPUBLICS figures. The official count
will be held tonight. conducted by Clerk
James H. Rabbits and overseen by Squires
Stout and Breckenridge. The full official
returns will be published tomorrow.

licans are jubilant over the great victory in
Ohio. A telegram from James ID. Leh-
mair said: Congratulations and Cornell
liam at your magnificent victory. New
York republicans wish tonight they lived
In Ohio where there are no mugwumps,
but where uncOmpromising republicanism
prevails" This telegram Is a fair sample
Of all Others and expresses well the feel
ing abroad. About 1, ,l30 kilograms were
sent 70 prominent eastern men corrorbOrat-
ing the news that Ohio had gone republi
can by large majority. Mr.. TIE. Powell,
eX-demOcratic candidate for governor.
was seen about midnight and asked
for his views on the situa-
ton. He conceded the election of
Governor Foraker, but said his majority
would not exceed 10. 900. Explaining this
he said that only strong republican cities
and districts have been heard from.
when the country returns come in you
will see how much difference it will make"
Mr.. Powell was not in q mood for CONVEX
satiOn, nor were the staunch friends who
surrounded him. At the headquarters OF
the democratic state committee the crowd
became disguised early and left for their
homes. all evincing no disposition to deny
that the state had gone overwhelmingly re-
publican. Chairman DUNCAN also admits
the same as Mr.. Powell.
The scene about midnight in this city
was one of wild confusion and hilarity
among republicans. Bands were parading
the streets and bOnfires were blazing on all
corners. When it was announced at
a strong republican gathering that John
Mcbride had probably been defeated for
senator In the MassillOn district the place
became pandemOnium.
Everything from New York indicates
that the democrats have probably carried
that state by small m ajority. Fellows is
undoubtedly elected in New York city.
Advices from Massachusetts point to re-
publican victory. In Pennsylvania the
same result Is shown.
A few minutes after midnight q crowd
of thousands of cOlOred men formed in line
and marched to the governors office, many
having coons and other emblems of repub-
lican victory. Governor Foraker addressed
them briefly. saying that victory meant
that republicans had resolved to vote for
honest government

FoRAkER'S EUTURE.

man DUNCAN Comedies the Legislature
TO the eRepubiicans-2O. 900 the Lowest
Figure-what the Leaders Think.
Special dispatch to the Republic:
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 9. $50 q. m.-The
latest returns received do not materially af
feet the figures previously given IS to the
general result.
Republicans closed mp headquarters well
satisfied that they can claim over 10000
with perfect propriety.
Governor Foraker addressed crowd of
several hundred prior to his departure for
his residence and in mis- sreech repeated his
former expression on the result. He
says that his election by ma
iority exceeding 10000 is assured
and he has authorized such statement to be
sent abroad. Several characteristic tele-
grams were sent to New York gentlemen
and one of them to WhiteIaw Reid, of the
Tribune.
Chairman DUNCAN, OF the democratic c
state executive committee, has wired all
the democratic county chairman that the
| ticket and legislature is irretrievably lost to
| the democracy, and that Governor Foraker S
majority will probably reach $1,000. Mr..
DUNCAN thinks the statements in regard to
democratic majority IN New York state are
over estimated and that the democrats will
have only a small plurality. As If to
support this view q telegram was
exhibited at one O'Clock this morning
stating that the New York republican
league admit that the democrats have car
ried New York by q small plurality, but
the republicans have save. the general as
sembly. Prominent politicians from all
quarters of the state are massed in this
city tonight and after the result was defin-
itely known many began discussing the
future of Foraker and especially in regard
to the probable effect his strong endorse,
ment BY the voters will have upon Senator
Sherman's claims for recognition. Nearly
all agreed that the result Of this election
has wonderfully aided Governor Foraker
At = o'clock the receiving of returns wa:

and few facts and figures nothing devel
oped. 1t is reasonably certain that Ohit
has gone 10000 republican and perhap.

victory on the heels Of the bitterest, hottest
campaign in the history OF the county or
city,, ~,
20 4. lie hour .xwhRathiHalbiin wrstten
$ O'Clock a. Incomplete returns have
been received at the REPUBLIC Office from
all the voting places in the city, and twenty
six out of the twenty-nine precincts in IL 9
county. According to these re-
turns the total vote for Foraker
in the city Is s,797; Powell,
2. .446. giving Foraker majority of 1851.
This will be found almost absolutely COT
rect AL the county precincts are in bl I
South Charleston, of Madison township,
Pleasant township and fremont, of German
township. Not including these, Foraker S
majority in the entire county is 1881. II S
total majority outside of the city
will therefore reach about 2,30O.
This is splendid gain Ovtr
the election q year ago when the re-
publicans carried the city by only l79 and
the entire county By 9a7.
The predicted scratching of George c.
Rawlins for representative proved to be
the thinnest kind Of q rOorback and Mr..
Rawlins ran but about 200 behind
ticket. This, considering the vulgar, Wit
operative and relentless campaign waged
against him, is handsome Endorsement OF
Clark county's brilliant young Representa-
tive.
The entire republican county ticket j.
elected by an average majority of oye
1000.
Nor is this all. MIR. II. c. Laybourne
the REPUBLICS esteemed correspond
ent at Lagonda, was elected councilman
from the Eighth ward by a handsom,
majority of .57 over Victor d. Grimmer
democrat. Mr.. Laybourne's good sense
his clear-headedness and his staunch an
answering fidelity to his party and hi
constituents will make him decided add
tion to our municipal legislature.
